  1. If you want a pretty direct replacement and aren't concerned about superb thermal properties, look at the Velux VLT or GVK or Fakro WGI, you should find a similar size in those ranges
  2. It's a bit of a 1st World problem really, but I'd agree with @Dave Jones on this, else you'll see it every day.
  3. not all compression fittings have a BSP on the nut, I think they're actually Whit. But more modern stuff could well be metric even, that could be M30x2.5 or somesuch.
  4. can you get a piccy of the threads, and measure the thread pitch?
  5. pack it up off the tiles a touch (toughened glass doesn't like point loads)either with glazing packers or the special clear packers that "disappear" into the sealant. If you use ordinary packers you can remove them and fill the voids once the main length has gone off.
  6. heck I'd love to get an extra 30%. Are the panels actually bigger, are you able to get more in closer to the edges, or has someone told you that on-roof is less affected by heat please?
  7. Are all the fittings you've tried BSP? Might be worth trying an iron BSPT fitting in, it could well go in better and if necessary will massage the thread slightly. I wouldn't risk a tap coz if it actually *is* a different thread you'll possibly scrap it...
  8. ^ more normal there, @bassanclan
  9. So that's a low voltage switch and you can only switch the output of the driver with it eg the driver is turned on 247.
  10. Any chance it's 7/8" BSP as used on old outside taps?
  11. the proper top flashing laps onto the top panels
  12. On some, the pump is under PWM control to help achieve the dT
  13. edit looking on Streetview it would appear that the boundary is halfway between each property (except for no.18 which uses the gap as the driveway to a rear garage). Would it be worth knocking the door of one of the other neighbours and asking them how it works for them? Try searching planning docs for the other houses as there might be useful drawings (side porch between 16 and 18, and again 30 and 32 for example
  14. so who owns this alley then?
  15. how does the boundary work between the other similar houses?
  16. so they are barring you access to your property? Straight to the Police in this case.
  17. Vibration isn't just the stuff you can see or feel. There's a compressor being driven at a nice 150 or 200Hz, just right for a hum travelling down the pipe.
  18. Why does it need court? If the boundary is *actually* some distance out from your wall they must have trespassed in order to fit anything to your wall and you are at liberty to remove same. If you can confirm that the boundary is a metre out (or whatever), let THEM be foolish enough to try legal action...
  19. that'd be a good trick with check reveals
  20. why not Wilo?
  21. or cheaper still direct from China
  22. Jeremy Harris had noise issues IIRC. As far as I'm concerned, if the unit is on flexi-feet of some kind then flexys are a must.
